You can only add integers to DATEs, not to timestamps. 

To add a number of days to a timestamp, you need to use an interval:

   date_trunc('day', LOCALTIMESTAMP) + interval '7 day'

Or cast to a date:

test=> select date_trunc('day', localtimestamp)::date + 7; 
 

   ?column?

yeesh. that's a very long-winded way to write current_date + 7

Well, current_date is different: current_date returns a date, so you 
only have to do:

    select current_date + 7;

The original question (if I remember correctly; have zapped it now) was 
about adding an integer to a timestamp, hence the need to truncate it to 
a date first as in Adrian's example above.

Yeah, I was just working of the OP's original DEFAULT:

site_mode_date timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT date_trunc('day', 
LOCALTIMESTAMP)+7,

Right, but since all these are exactly equivalent:

CURRENT_DATE
LOCALTIMESTAMP::date
date_trunc('day',LOCALTIMESTAMP)::date

and since date can be cast to timestamp, then DEFAULT current_date+7
would seem to be the simplest answer.

I would agree. Put it down to a case of tunnel vision.
